Complex Mortgages and Ownership

We specialise in providing bespoke financing solutions for property owners with complex ownership structures. Whether your property is held through an offshore company, a UK-registered company, or a trust, we offer tailored mortgages to suit your unique needs. We have the right solution to help you secure the funding you need.

How Can We Help?

We understand that securing finance for properties held in complex ownership structures can be challenging. Traditional lenders often have rigid requirements and limited flexibility, making it difficult to obtain the financing you need.

Offshore Company Ownership

If your property is owned through an offshore company, you may face difficulties with traditional lenders who often see this as a higher-risk structure. Our experience with private banks and offshore lenders allows us to help you leverage your property as collateral, securing the mortgage you need with favourable terms.

Trust and Company Structures

Properties held in a trust or a company can be more complicated to finance, but our team is well-versed in working with these types of ownership structures. We can help you navigate the complexities and secure a customised mortgage solution to match your situation.

Tailored Solutions for Complex Needs

Whether you’re financing a commercial property, residential portfolio, or a luxury estate, we specialise in understanding the unique needs of our clients and offering personalised solutions. Our strong relationships with private banks and specialist lenders mean we can find the right finance for your specific circumstances.

Real Results: Solving Complex Mortgage Challenges

Structuring a Complex Development Exit and Long‑Term Letting Strategy

Structuring a Complex Development Exit and Long‑Term Letting Strategy

A development client approached Orton Financial with four newly built homes held in a trading company — but shifting market conditions meant selling was no longer viable. The client wanted to retain and let the units, yet faced tax risks, lender restrictions, title issues, and an outstanding development loan.
Orton Financial engineered a two‑lender structure that allowed the titles to be split on completion, the properties transferred into a new SPV without stamp duty, and the development facility repaid efficiently — avoiding tax crystallisation and enabling a clean transition into long‑term investment.

Luther took the time to understand our situation and provided an excellent service. A better option became available and Luther was able to switch our mortgage for no additional fee. I would recommend him to friends of family. 

Mr. Woodman

I was already working with a broker but i wasn’t happy with the service they were providing. Once I had spoken to Luther I knew he was the right advisor for me.

A standard mortgage is typically for properties owned directly by individuals, while a complex mortgage caters to properties held in trusts, offshore companies, or businesses, requiring more specialised consideration.
Will I need additional documentation to apply for a complex mortgage?
Yes, complex mortgages often require additional documentation, such as details of the ownership structure, financial statements, and trust deeds.
Will I pay more interest on a complex mortgage?
Interest rates for complex mortgages may be slightly higher due to the nature of the ownership structure, but we work with lenders to ensure you get the best possible rates.

Yes, depending on your circumstances, a complex mortgage may be a viable alternative if a standard mortgage has been declined.
Will I get approved for a complex mortgage more quickly than a standard mortgage?

The amount you can borrow will depend on your income, the value of your assets, and the lender’s specific criteria for complex mortgages.
What type of mortgage do I need?
If your property is held in a complex ownership structure, a complex mortgage is likely the most appropriate solution. We can guide you through the options.
Is there a limit to my Buy-to-Let portfolio size?

Can I remortgage if the equity in my property is held via a trust?
